Traceport: Revolutionizing Data Integrity with Blockchain with Bridget Doran

In this episode of the Amata World podcast, we speak with Bridget Doran, founder and CEO of Traceport. Traceport is a blockchain-based infrastructure platform that provides an API enabling any organization to prove their data externally — think of it as a digital public notary that uses cryptographic verification to ensure data has never been altered. Bridget shares her journey from database administration and nonprofit tech into Web3, discovering BitcoinSV in 2019 after becoming disillusioned with the scalability limitations of other blockchain platforms.

Bridget discusses how building Traceport for Charities (a SaaS application demonstrating the platform) led to a bigger vision: abstracting blockchain complexity so any sector - compliance, IoT, pharmaceuticals, or beyond - can use immutable data attestation without understanding the underlying technology. She explains the revolutionary concept of "applications logging into you" rather than vice versa, and why Bitcoin SV's scalability (1-2 million transactions per second) makes enterprise-grade blockchain verification finally practical.

Key takeaways

Traceport's API acts as a digital notary with cryptographic verification—organizations can prove their data hasn't changed, and the public can verify it independently (not just trust Traceport's word)

The pivot from charity-focused SaaS to infrastructure API came through the iterative process of building—founders shouldn't get locked into their initial vision

Each organization using Traceport gets its own cryptographically isolated space for data attestation, making it plug-and-play ready for any sector

The "apps log into you" paradigm shift: cryptographic keys enable zero-knowledge proof of identity without handing over personal data

IoT and compliance are promising sectors where organizations are required to prove data integrity

Micropayments on scalable blockchain could transform developing economies by removing middlemen

Bitcoin SV's new node software handles 1-2 million transactions per second, enabling enterprise use cases that weren't previously practical
